Blessid Union of Souls have already had their taste of success back in the mid-90s when they released their debut album Home. That record went on to sell TONS of copies back in 1995 and that same year would be certified Gold by the RIAA (Now Platinum). The CD included many chart-toppers including the Smash, Hit single “I Believe”. Blessid Union of Souls would continue to pick up steam by being featured on the Gold-selling Carole King tribute album Tapestry Revisited (Rod Stewart, Faith Hill, The Bee Gees & Amy Grant) and the double platinum soundtrack for “Pokemon: The First Movie”. The Ohio-based band kept rollin’ along with appearances on: “Contact” (starring Jodie Foster & Matthew McConaughey), “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (starring Jim Carrey), “Cold Case”, “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”, “Live with Regis”, “Good Morning America”, “All My Children”, “Top of the Pops” and VH1. Sharing the stage with such big acts as: Bon Jovi, Goo Goo Dolls, Third Eye Blind and Mike & The Mechanics one would think that Blessid Union of Souls have seen and done it all…BUT guess again!

Lead singer, pianist and co-founder Eliot Sloan alongside his fine group of musicians have a brand new Mission and whole new playing Field. Blessid Union of Souls have always incorporated inspiring & motivational elements due to their strong Christian faith but for the first time Sloan & Company have released their debut Contemporary Christian album fittingly titled Mission Field. The first single off of the record is called “The Only Song”, which is being promoted by Musik Radio Promotions and is already being played on over 2,000 radio stations worldwide! The song has already picked up major traction thanks to the fine people over at Musik and Film and Blessid Union of Souls can also be seen on the Wall of Success.

“The Only Song” has that patented Blessid Union of Souls sound with that catchy Pop/Rock appeal. And don’t forget Eliot Sloan’s soulful delivery on vocals along with meaningful lyrics that add so much life to their music. On the new track and on the entire album, the message is clear and that is that there is one purpose in mind for Blessid Union of Souls–playing for the almighty Lord. “I’ve always sung about wanting to live right, and with the Mission Field, it’s just a matter of taking things one step further and doing in my heart what I’m called to do. You can never get too close to God, and throughout all of these songs, I’m always going in that direction,” said Sloan.

Don’t fight the feeling and become one with Blessid Union of Souls and “The Only Song” that means so much. In a world full of problems & turmoil, Blessid Union of Souls shine a bright light on all of us with their positive Christian approach. It’s not just “The Only Song”, it’s also a project of healing. With Musik Radio Promotions backing them and God being their #1 fan, the sky’s literally the limit for Blessid Union of Souls!

Laurel Moore is her name and OneLadyJazz is her repertoire. Originally from England, OneLadyJazz has been through Switzerland, Abu Dhabi and now resides in Qatar out in the Middle East. No matter where she goes, Laurel Moore’s international appeal is sure to impress the masses. Promoting the new single “The Girl From Ipanema” through Musik Radio Promotions, OneLadyJazz gives to the public music that will soothe even the most savage of beasts. The single has been blasted out to radio stations worldwide by Musik Radio (already playing on over 1500 stations!) as Laurel Moore is yet another solid addition to the famous Wall of Success!

OneLadyJazz already has great things to say about her new home at Musik Radio Promotions: “Musik and Film offer the kind of potential worldwide airplay that musicians dream of!! They open doors – and I am ecstatically happy to walk through this door–to success! Knowing that my work is being valued and supported by Musik and Film and their team.” So it definitely seems that OneLadyJazz aka Laurel Moore is in good hands but just who is this multicultural artist from Qatar and what is “The Girl From Ipanema” all about?

“The Girl From Ipanema” is a 1960s hit & very well-known Bossa nova song and OneLadyJazz offers up a refreshing rendition of the classic number. By blending in a smooth jazzy touch with a voice that is as delicate as a feather, Laurel Moore is breathing new, invigorating life into the hit song. The tenor sax is present & quite efficient and the mood is that of a relaxing day on the beach. Just picture yourself soaking in the sun with the calm ocean waters surrounding you, waves crashing in and seagulls flying above; this is the scene that OneLadyJazz has created. So serene and so rich in substance, Laurel Moore simply shines on “The Girl From Ipanema”.

With accolades already rolling in for OneLadyJazz like being featured as a ‘Notable New Jazz Artist’ by the New Jersey Jazz Society (2013) OR being a Finalist in ‘UAE’s Got Talent’ (2011) , Laurel is just getting started! Besides being a stellar singer/songwriter, tenor sax player & classically-trained musician, Moore is also a fantastic artist of oil paintings. Her work can be seen around the world at many galleries & venues where OneLadyJazz herself curates and exhibits her fine art collections. Moore has been honored by being selected as ‘Best Worldwide Artist’ by Portrait and Landscape Art Books for 2013 and also was named ‘Best 100 Worldwide Artists’ by World Art Foundation on 2012.

Be prepared to be floating in air as you listen to Laurel Moore’s soothing cover of “The Girl From Ipanema”. Whether it’s a picnic at the park, a relaxing nap in the hammock or a stroll on the boardwalk, OneLadyJazz has got you covered with her peaceful vibes. With Musik Radio Promotions on her side, OneLadyJazz/Laurel Moore can do nothing but go UP…UP…UP… from here on out!

Adrianna Freeman to Perform at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch

Adrianna will spend Memorial Day weekend at the home of one of her childhood idols, when she performs at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, on May 25 and 26.

“Loretta Lynn has always been one of my favorites,” Freeman said. “I love the stories she tells in her songs, and she is one of a handful of female artists who influenced my own songwriting.”

The Ranch, which is Lynn’s home as well as a popular tourist attraction, includes shops, live entertainment and a museum dedicated to the singer’s career. Other artists are scheduled to perform there over the Memorial Day weekend, including Joe Nichols, Joey + Rorey, and Loretta Lynn herself. But for Freeman, one of the few African American female singers in country music, the opportunity is more personal than most, because of certain similarities between Lynn’s early life and her own.

“Loretta Lynn’s father was a coal miner who struggled to support his family in rural Kentucky; my dad was a sharecropper in the South,” Freeman said. “Ms. Lynn had a hard time getting radio stations to listen to her music, and so did I. I am not comparing my singing to hers; she will always be the Queen of Country Music. But she has been such an inspiration, the way she kept going when times were hard.”

Adrianna’s EP, “Either You Do or You Don’t”, promoted to world radio by Musik and Film’s promotional division, Musik Radio Promotions, is #3 on the Cashbox Music Charts.

The Lie About Radio Airplay

musikandfilm

May 17, 2013

0

You read articles that give “the truth”– that say Indie Artist can’t get airplay, Right? — WRONG!

It’s a BIG world out there!

Musik Radio Promotions has charted artists in the top 10 in many charts around the world. Just check out the Wall of Success!

Indie Artists are playing on thousands of stations – some on TENS of thousands.

How, you ask?

Radio outside of the US works differently. The rest of the world for the most part does not have a top 40 that they play over and over. They have what they call “Radio Presenters” . These presenters each develop their own play lists based on what the audience wants to hear. And most stations outside the US are not one specific genre. Most stations play a variety of music and have shows that feature 2 to 4 hours of rock, then pop, then country and every other genre.

Musik Radio Promotions has over 250,000 radio stations in every genre in 80 countries. We literally have just about every radio station in the US, UK, Australasia, Ireland, Scotland, and thousands of stations in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. 98% of our stations are FM stations. We cover most Billboard, Cashbox and many other reporting stations and charts around the world. We promote to most major networks including ECMA, BBC, Sirius, I-Heart and many others.

So, who is Musik Radio Promotions?

Musicians. Musicians that have toured the world extensively as members of internationally recognized artists.

We realized radio in the US is controlled by major labels known as “Gatekeepers”, meaning Major US radio corporations that positioned themselves as the “Gatekeepers” . They control almost 75% of the US radio market. This left 25% of possible stations within the US that would consider playing an Indie artist’s music. It’s a big world out there and we found out if you can get enough airplay outside of the US, it follows that the US market is then forced to listen and be receptive to playing your music.

How are we doing it differently?

Musik Radio Promotions has developed a program that will deliver a high quality DPK to radio PDs. The DPK includes the artist’s promo picture, press quotes, web and social links, bios and music. We send the individual DPK to radio programmers all over the world. We do not “blast” and have developed a credible reputation in this industry.

Are we successful?

It’s easy to find out. How many other sites do you see posting artists names listing pick-ups by the BBC, ECMA and thousands of stations around the world. Check out the Testimonial Page.

Benefits?

Collect 100% of airplay royalties around the world. A plus-outside the US, royalties are considerably higher.
Touring, it is impossible to successfully tour unless people know who you are. Use the radio airplay and charts to successfully tour any geographical area.

Costs?

We design packages for the artist based on a single or multiple tracks.

How does an artist get started?

Experience has proved to the team at Musik Radio Promotions what radio will play and will not play. Production of the track is “key”.

Submit your track for review to our team of seasoned producers.

We want your music – heard AND played.

The song “Church Of Da Blues” is featured on the album Just Livin’ My Rock & Roll Life which has gotten rave reviews from all types in the music industry. When you think of great southern rock bands and true masters of the genre, Lynyrd Skynyrd & Allman Brothers come to mind right away but you can’t forget about Bleu Lane holding its own and doing it justice. Mixing of blues, southern rock and good-old rock & roll is what Bleu Lane is all about. Other influences include: Eric Clapton, Bad Company & B.B. King just to name a few.

King Errisson & Wolf Entertainment Find a New Throne with Musik Radio Promotions

Rhonda

April 18, 2013

Hellmut Wolf, of Wolf Entertainment and Musik Radio Promotions have partnered to provide Wolf’s artists with access to the global market of radio airplay.

King Errisson,signed to Wolf Entertainment, and his new single, “In My Secret Life“, is set to be promoted to Musik Radio’s massive network of radio stations around the world!

Referring to King Errisson as Mr. Kool or the King of Kool is more than fitting due to his slick ‘n’ smooth vocal delivery. The voice reminds one of the likes of say a Barry White or Isaac Hayes (RIP to both) just due to that coolness factor displayed vocally. The buck doesn’t stop at singing though for King by no means because actually Errisson’s claim to fame is that he is a world-class percussionist/conga player. King has even been a part of Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Neil Diamond’s touring band since 1976. Mr. Diamond even went so far as to call King Errisson “the best percussionist in the world”. BIG words from a BIG-TIME musician but it doesn’t end there.

King has been surrounded by music royalty throughout his entire career working with some real heavy hitters in the music biz like: Ringo Starr, Blood Sweat & Tears, Barry White, The Carpenters, Lou Rawls, Johnny Mathis, Barbra Streisand, Bobby Darin, David Cassidy and many others. Quincy Jones himself once said: “All I can say is that if you’re talking about musicians with a fantastic sense of time and dynamics, then you have to put King’s name at the top of the conversation. Welcome to the King’s Kingdom, it is a sound you’ll be glad you found.” Furthermore, Errisson has been dubbed the “unsung hero of Motown” by authors Ray Singleton & the one-and-only Berry Gordy in their books due to King’s work with some of Motown’s finest such as: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, Diana Ross and many others. It’s not all song & dance for King Kool as he has also tried his hand at acting. King has appeared in several movies like: “Uptown Saturday Night” with Bill Cosby & Sidney Poitier, “Rollerball” starring Sean Connery and the 1980 remake of “The Jazz Singer” with Neil Diamond.

King Errisson’s Caribbean roots come to play in his featured release “In My Secret Life” that blends together a sunny island vibe with light ‘n’ airy jazz. The new track is sure to be a success as it hits airwaves all over the globe!

Watch for King Errisson to be appearing soon on the Musik Radio Wall of Success.

Grammy Award Winning – The Flamingos Starring Terry Johnson Romancing Airwaves Across the Globe with their New CD: The Diamond Anniversary Tour 2013

Grammy Award Winning The Flamingos Starring Terry Johnson, aka the “Ambassadors for Romance”- herald the return of passion to radio airwaves worldwide as Musik Radio and Musik and Film Inc. launch into airplay “The Diamond Anniversary Tour 2013“ CD.

With a fresh new sound Hollywood, FL based Rock n’ Roll Hall of Famers The Flamingos debut their latest CD to worldwide radio through the promotions of Musik Radio ™ in association with Musik and Film Inc. Radio launch is scheduled to commence January 23, 2013.

When Cupid aimed his quiver of arrows at the music world, he inherently struck the hearts and voices of Terry Johnson and the newest members of The Flamingos. As unerring as the flight of those arrows, is the steady, rich flow of the music of love and romance from The Flamingos, Cupid’s “Ambassadors for Romance”. Proof the cherubic archer hit his mark, is the latest album, produced by Terry Johnson and Theresa Trigg.

Falling in love can start with a shared melody that one day becomes “our song.” The music of love and romance so evocatively delivered by this new album from The Flamingos has exactly that kind of power and persuasion. Released by Hot Fun Records, Musik Radio will be promoting the new CD to over 27,000 radio stations and 40,000 with syndication worldwide. From the opening track, written and performed by Grammy Hall of Fame Award honoree Terry Johnson, the listener is transported to a place and time separate from the daily details of ordinary life. Captivated by the richness of harmony interwoven into a musical tapestry you lose yourself. Dreamily sighing, one finds a hum tickling the back of your throat as you notice you are smiling and singing along hypnotized into an altered state. You’ve been romanced into the mood so aptly perfected by this impeccably produced new CD. In addition to being a gifted singer and performer, Johnson is a highly acclaimed producer. He was Musical and Vocal Arranger for The Flamingos during the magical time of the Grammy award win for their song,”I Only Have Eyes For You”. Starling Newsome and Stan Prinston join Terry on vocals presenting the listener with an audible example of the beauty of unity.

If, as some fear, romance has been “evicted” from much of today’s music, The Flamingos offer the recipe for reclamation: mix four parts smooth, mellow voices, fold in superb production, add sophisticated musical arrangements blend with keyboard and the guitar styling’s of award winning musicians, then sprinkle in familiar classics such as, “I Only Have Eyes For You,” and “When I Fall In Love,” and create The Diamond Anniversary Tour 2013 album. Send that recording into the world, taking it in concert and radio far and wide, to remind all of us that romance, and the love that a wonderful romance ignites, is ever near, if we just look and listen with open hearts.

“If you’re ever in the dog house, play this record and it gets you out fast.” – Bruno Mars in a Rolling Stone
Interview referencing The Flamingos, “I Only Have Eyes For You”

The Flamingos are currently on tour, traveling the world to present the romantic music of their Diamond
Anniversary Tour 2013 Album. For current tour dates and to purchase the new CD visit

Cletus Romp Out Now on Musik and Film

musikandfilm

January 22, 2013

CLETUS ROMP SELL SOME SNAKE OIL

By definition, snake oil is any number of various substances or mixtures sold as medicine (as by a traveling medicine show) usually without regard to their medical worth or properties. The men of Cletus Romp are carrying the phrase into the modern times, taking their tunes out of the back of a wheeled wagon and shilling what is good for what ails you on their debut, Snake Oil.

Cletus Romp are caregivers. Their regard for the music delivered on Snake Oil assures and gives good Alt Country and Roots’ bedside manner. Where the band slides into the dictionary description of their album title is the mixing pot of music used to concoct audio potions. The sound on Snake Oil borrows liberally from classic rock, rock and soul, swamp grooves and back porch jams echoing the shimmies, slides, and shakes of a million guitar-driven groups, present and past. The band proudly wear their love of Creedence, Motorhead, Drive-By Truckers, Tom Waits, and Motown.

Cincinnati, Ohio is where Cletus Romp calls home. Their traveling show foregoes setting up in the town square, but they nonetheless bear the form and feel of torch-lit tents and soul-saving gospel. Derek Stinson (slide guitar, piano) and Tim Golliher (guitar, banjo) share vocal duties. Mark Karapondo (bass) and Adam Brokamp (drums) anchor the rhythm, while Ryan Moore keeps it real by adding assorted junkyard percussion.

Snake Oil slides into action with the album’s opener, “Tin Roof”. And here is where Cletus Romp show their hand immediately. “Tin Roof” features dual vocals, and a constant and ever-present slide guitar, complemented by a cacophony of banging and beating on percussion. It sets a pace that the band carries well. “Coming Home” moves in like riverbank fog as it leads you along highway roads back to your own bed; “Wicked Left Hand” is a guttural groove fest; “Farmyard” slides along for a tale of the past, and “Floater” stays true to its rhythm-only arrangement as banjo notes keep the beat allowing a variety of percussion to have their sway. The band mellows into a steamy crawl for the appropriately titled “Lullaby”. The vocals add a tender touch as a jangly guitar rides a steady dream beat.

Styles and manner of deliverance aside, Cletus Romp offer an honest brand of Alt Country that keeps artists like Mojo Nixon and Jimbo Mathus on the dashboard for saintly inspiration. They will get under your skin…maybe there is something to that medicine after all. Danny McCloskey/RA
